I started pulling out my fall/Halloween decorations on the 31st, but people keep telling me I'm crazy for doing it that early. Thankfully, we're both crazy. {: My favorite part of fall is the decorating. It's fun and gorgeous and makes our home seem so cozy.

What's not to love about fall? Why isn't September the beginning of the year? The smell of new pencils, getting a new school outfit, not to mention Hallowe'en. In Cathedral Grove, British Columbia, pumpkins line the highway for miles. It's the best way to welcome in the season. LOVE the bat specimens.

I live near San Francisco, so I am lucky to have really mild autumns. For that reason, autumn is my favorite season. It's just so beautiful here, and yes, the leaves do change color. Also, how could we forget Halloween?!? Definitely my favorite holiday ever. I get to dress up and all the craft stores are full of awesome supplies that are impossible to find any other part of the year. Also, I totally drool all over all the Halloween crafty magazines. I love autumn!

I love the smell of fall, the leaves and the coolness, but my favorite thing is that Thanksgiving is coming up. I had a very scary and life chaninglearning experience one year on Nov 1st, 2007 that made me truly understand how to be thankful. I keep that feeling with me all year but Thanksgiving has now become more than just "Yeah, I'm thankful" to being able to truly know what I'm thankful for

I love fall. I love the cooler weather, the beautiful colors of the trees, and just the all around coziness that sets in. My favorite holidays are here so I'm excited to start "falling up" my home! Thanks for the chance to win. I love your blog and the way you always inspire me. Please keep up the great work!

I LOOOOOOOOVE how there is a change with the sun and the wind. It's gorgeous–the colors of the world are so fun!!!! Thanks so much for the chance to win:) SUPER cute ideas!!!! sbmmhoover at yahoo dot com

I love wearing layers of clothing. And like you, I love decorating for Halloween. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do this year. I did buy some new vintage reproduction decorations I'm excited to use.Happy Haunting Jen!

Its not just one thing, it's everything combined that makes fall a favorite season for me. The leaves changing, sweater weather and apples are just a few. For some reason the air always smells cleaner to me.

I love the smells of autumn like apple pies baking and the change in the way the air smells – you can tell it's Fall! I love the colors of the changing leaves and feel of soft, warm sweaters to take the chill off on a cool fall night. I also LOVE decorating for this season of the year. So much fun!

Oh, sorry, forgot about my fav fall thing…LOL anyway, love the pumpkins, fall colors, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, well from this point on till the end of the year is my favorite time of the year, fun activities, fun family time and reason to celebrate with friends and family!!

My FAVORITE part about fall is lighting cinnamon apple candles and wearing hoodies! And my favorite part that I am trying to give up are those amazingly delicious and caloric pumpkin candy corn…I can't resist them.
